FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ORBOTECH ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
YAVNE, ISRAEL — November 7, 2005 — ORBOTECH LTD. (NASDAQ/NM SYMBOL: ORBK) today announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were $93.7 million, compared to $89.3 million recorded in the second quarter of 2005 and $82.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $11.1 million, or $0.33 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $9.5 million, or $0.29 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of 2005 and $9.4 million, or $0.29 per share (diluted), in the third quarter of 2004.
Revenues for the first nine months of 2005 totaled $283.5 million, compared to $227.4 million recorded during the same period in 2004. Net income for the first nine months of 2005 was $31.2 million, or $0.94 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $23.0 million, or $0.70 per share (diluted), for the same period last year.
Sales of equipment to the printed circuit board (“PCB”) industry relating to bare PCBs were $37.3 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $33.0 million in the third quarter of 2004. Sales of equipment to the PCB industry relating to assembled PCBs were $9.1 million, compared to $5.4 million in the second quarter this year and $7.4 million in the third quarter of last year. Sales of flat panel display (“FPD”) inspection equipment were $26.3 million, compared to $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $24.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. Sales of automatic check reading products were $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. In addition, service revenues for the third quarter were $19.3 million, unchanged from the second quarter of 2005 and increased from the $17.1 million recorded in the third quarter of 2004.
The Company completed the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $201 million, compared with approximately $191 million at the end of the second quarter, due principally to positive operating cash flow for the quarter of approximately $9 million. Non-operating disbursements totaled approximately $1.5 million, comprised mainly of capital expenditures.
The continued strong demand for the Company’s Discovery PCB-AOI series and its Paragon solid state laser direct imaging systems was the principal factor in the increased revenues from bare PCB inspection equipment. Revenues from sales of the Company’s assembled PCB products were favorably affected by the recent introduction of the Company’s new Symbion series of post-paste and post-reflow inspection systems, both of which have been very well received by customers.
During the third quarter the FPD industry experienced strong demand for flat panel displays intended for use in LCD televisions, and manufacturers are ramping up production lines on schedule. In addition, in order to meet increasing demand, FPD manufacturers are not only preparing for new plant capacity in 2006, but are expanding capacity at their existing facilities, as evidenced by bookings recorded by the Company during the third quarter.
Commenting on the results, Yochai Richter, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased with our strong results for the quarter, which reflect our continued introduction of innovative products for the benefit of our customers. Their successes, in turn, help us maintain our position as a leading global supplier of yield-enhancement solutions for the PCB and FPD industries.”
An earnings conference call is scheduled for Monday, November 7, 2005, at 9:00 a.m. EST. The dial-in number for the conference call is 773-680-5843, and a replay will be available at 203-369-3240, until November 21, 2005. The pass code is Q3.
